(MCACC)
on page 19 are correct.

to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:

to send the bass frequencies to
the subwoofer.
•
Center
– Select
LARGE
if your center speaker reproduces
bass frequencies effectively, or select
SMALL
to send
bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If
you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose
NO
(the
center channel is sent to the other speakers).
•
Front Height
– Select
LARGE
if your front height
speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or
subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front height speakers
choose
NO
.
-
You can only adjust the
Front Height
setting when
Pre
Out Setting
is set to
Height
.
•
Surr
– Select
LARGE
if your surround speakers reproduce
bass frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect surround speakers choose
NO
(the sound
of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
•
Surr. Back
– Select the number of surround back
speakers you have (one, two or none). Select
LARGE
if
your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies
effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass frequencies to the
other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect
surround back speakers choose
NO
.
-

Surr. Back
setting when
Pre
Out Setting
is set to
Surr. Back
.
-
If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure
that additional amplifier is hooked up to the
PRE OUT L
(Single)
terminal.
•
Subwoofer
– LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to
SMALL
are output from the subwoofer
when
YES
is selected (see notes below). Choose the
PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass
frequencies that would normally come out the front and
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you
did not connect a subwoofer choose
NO
(the bass
frequencies are output from other speakers).
4
When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
• Only the
Front
and
Center
speakers and
Subwoofer
settings can be adjusted when the Speaker System
setting is set to
Speaker B
.
• If you select
SMALL
for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to
YES
. Also, the center,
surround, surround back and front height speakers can’t
be set to
LARGE
if the front speakers are set to
SMALL
. In
this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
• If the surround speakers are set to
NO
, the surround back
speakers will automatically be set to
NO
.
• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem
logical to select
LARGE
for your front speakers and
PLUS
for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of
your room you may actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In
this case, try changing the position or direction of
speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass
response with it set to
PLUS
and
YES
or the front speakers
set to
LARGE
and
SMALL
alternatively and let your ears
judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the
easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the
subwoofer by selecting
SMALL
for the front speakers.
X.OVER
• Default setting:
100Hz
This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing
back from the speakers selected as
LARGE
, or the subwoofer,
and bass sounds playing back from those selected as
SMALL
. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass
sounds in the LFE channel.
• For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see
Speaker
Setting
on page 37.
